I guess at some point will know how dangerous to people it is,
and how risky it is compared to things that we really know are
really bad, but that we are still eating. (for one reason or another).

If it turns out that it is a serious health threat, then pretty much
anyone alive today is f*ked. and given the build up of it, will
be for quite a while.

But we also have climate change, AI apocalypse, global thermonuclear war,
mcDonalds, and all other things at the same time.

And we wont know if whatever it is replaced with, if will be replaced
will turn out any better for humanity in the long term.
The “hatefest” was because of the trial. There were so many inconsistencies and flawed arguments from her side, along with damaging audio recordings, that made people feel that she had betrayed their trust in her initial claims. The clips from the trial went viral repeatedly. I doubt you need manufactured PR for that.
If any students or aspiring career-switchers are paying attention, now is a great time to start 10Xing your networking game. Stand out by being known.
Nonsense. You would catch the person after landing instead of downing an entire plane.
The US has more than twice the population of Russia and didn't collapse in 1991 and have to crawl back from sub-Saharan Africa economic conditions, so of course America has more. And there's a reason the US Navy backed off from Houthi antishipping missile and drone range. All surface ships are sitting ducks to antishipping missiles (read about the boats the UK lost in the Falklands). In in a hot war, all of the carriers and other capital ships in the theatre would be sunk with a week, probably faster (on all sides).
There is also no guarantee that Apple isn't lying about everything.

They could just have the OS batch uploads until a later point e.g. when the phone checks for updates.

The point is that this is all about risk mitigation not elimination.

Propaganda bullshit
> Also, not using LLMs might be a red flag. I wouldn't want a dev that is not open to this technology...

The person you're replying to is a senior, not junior candidate.

For junior devs who are still learning, LLMs are a great force multiplier that help them understand code faster and integrate new things.

For senior devs, LLMs are a maybe-optional tool that might save a couple hours per week, on a good week. I would consider extremely heavy LLM use a much larger red flag for a senior level position, than not using them at all.
For your third question -- there are already lots of products on the market in certain stores (Costco, Whole Foods, co-ops) that have third party testing or claims about purity.
NATO is a defense pact. And your portrayal of NATO is ridiculous. NATO bent over backwards to satisfy Russian paranoia. NATO had barely any troops(just enough to say if you invade and kill them it's war) in the eastern NATO member countries until the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
If you had to bet a large amount of your own money on a scenario where you have a 3200 word text and you ask ChatGPT to change a single sentence, would you bet on or against that it would change something other than what you asked it to change? I would bet that it would, every time (even with ChatGPT's new document feature). There aren't a lot of employers who are okay with persistent randomness in their output.

If there's a job that can be entirely replaced by AI, it was already outsourced to an emerging market with meager labor costs (which at this point, is likely still cheaper than a fully automated AI).
The reality is that most developers are bad at their jobs.

Also, there's the "fake it till you make it" thinking.
Ukraine never pointed a gun at russia. They didn't threaten them or try to intimidate them.

This is like someone saying they will start locking their doors, so someone else says they were forced to rob and murder them.

It's absurd from any perspective except for warped "don't believe your own eyes, ears and thoughts" Orwellian propaganda.

Russia was the one threatening to shoot and shooting people
British magician Darren Brown aired a TV special called "The System" revealing a foolproof method which allowed him to provide the name of the winning horse to a lucky person who randomly responded to his newspaper advertisement in time for that person to bet on the race and win. He continued doing this with that person for six more races over six consecutive weeks - with that person betting their own money and winning each time, beating astronomical odds and winning quite a large sum. The bets were real, legally placed in advance on televised races at regulated betting parlors and the person really randomly responded to the ad without knowing Brown beforehand. For the last race Brown and the person met at the race track but for all the prior races Brown didn't even know when or where the person would place their bet. He really had no involvement or even contact, other than sending the name of the horse to bet on via email once a week.

Of course, it's (sort of) a very clever trick. All is revealed in the show (now on Brown's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR970Y10WNw). I showed it to my kid who had recently asked me about a state lottery billboard claiming "Someone has to win!" and it proved to be an entertainingly effective answer as well as providing some good ways to think critically about gambling propositions.

Lol, that's awesome. Yeah, it's pretty easy to push Claude around. I think that's okay because you're only fooling yourself, but it should really have a bit more of a spine.
I think the problem is that the words "communism" and "capitalism" are too big and mean too many inter-twingled things all at once. Also that they tend to mean different things to different people.

Despite purported differences in ideology, US and Chinese government expenditure is roughly the same as a % of GDP.

Most societies are running a mix of private and government directed production and most taxes are spent on communal goods like health care, education, welfare and defense.

I think discussions of social policy are a lot more productive if we stick to the pros and cons of specific initiatives and policy (e.g. universal single payer healthcare, or UBI at level X) without invoking complex labels that trigger knee-jerk reactions.

Personally I don't see why nationalised production of certain basic essentials should be completely outside the overton window. To me it just seems like another tool you could use to achieve social policy.
i suspect that a lot of people applying to a lot of jobs and not hearing back are applying via an inbound webform or even, unknowingly, through an agency or intermediary like Indeed. my experience (on both sides of the hiring process) is that inbound applications are generally considered fairly low-signal unless they are paired with a highly-specific job req or come with a referral attached. i'd be curious to know how you applied to those companies to get such good response rates.

as an anecdote, for some jobs i've applied to, i received an internal referral to a specific recruiter and it just never went anywhere (although i could often observe the recruiter looking at my linkedin profile from linkedin's own upgrade promo emails). in many cases, i would have preferred a 5 minute call to see if i was even a good fit so as to cross a job off a list.

i'm not anybody special, also degree and over a decade in, but it seems like a market where i could be connected 1-1 to an internal recruiter that is actively filling a role but where on several occasions i was ghosted is just a different sort of environment than what you're describing.
Time Zone Trios: A Concept for 24/7 Development
3 developers distributed across Americas, EMEA and APAC, working async to deliver 24/7 progress.
I personally wouldn't expect someone to implement one (end cases easy to mess up if they are stressed), but writing a function to reverse one (foreach, pop front, push front) is enough to catch the liars. You can argue about how often a std::list vs std::vector is a performance win, but I'd run a mile from any developer who wasn't highly familiar with the basic data structures provided by any language they are claiming to be fluent in.
> NBA has become unwatchable... not my opinion, the ratings are down through and through

First of all, this is clearly an opinion. It isn't debatable that the ratings are down, but since the ratings are down for all broadcast and cable TV broadly it isn't that damning of NBA specifically, and certainly isn't a strong supporting fact that NBA games themselves are "unwatchable".

> Christmas used to be owned by NBA, this time only 12% of sports fans watched the game

The NBA can't compete with the NFL on ratings, and it's a fool's errand to make that the standard. The NFL is the ratings juggernaut in America, nothing compares to it. The NBA's viewership numbers for Christmas saw a substantial increase this year with the highest viewership since 2019.

A big issue has been how hard it can be for many fans to watch their own team's home games due to regional sports networks and blackout rules for cable, or high expense for a standalone streaming network. Whether the new broadcast deal helps or hurts this remains to be seen - I think splitting the games up across so many services is going to have a continued negative effect even if it's very lucrative for the league.

That said, I can't argue with your lived experience. I do think the idea that every time plays the same way is out-and-out preposterous, but I think the bigger issue is a) an overall soft whistle has made it hard to play defense esp on three-point shooting and b) refs are inconsistent at best, arbitrary at median, and petty at worst.

Can we apply some common sense please? You're right that not allowing revised standards would be silly. So, they simply update the law to reference newer versions of the standard. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2023/1717/oj
> viewership is down and getting worse so much so that NBA is doing crazy shit

That's surprising to see as the WNBA is steadily growing and had a large jump this year--supposedly due to Caitlin Clark Effect[0] (a generational player). But they had been growing viewership steadily before that. I don't really care for basketball in any form, too many points, but I would catch headlines on espn & other sports channels and the WNBA was taking up a lot of real estate in the top headlines this year and before that it was usually about another attendance or viewing record. Curious what they are doing different than the Men's game?

> what do you think would be logistics of changing every arena to accomodate larger court - not just in the US but internationally?

I don't know about every court, especially internationally, but most courts are assembled on site and have plenty of room to work with. I pasted a link below of a typical court being assembled. Notice there is plenty of room all around when done, usually for bench, scorekeepers, random floor seating, etc. They could make it work if they wanted.

Is it a rational ask? I don't know, one would have to collect data and feedback from all professional courts. But I don't think it's as big as having to redesign or reconstruct an entire building.

Enjoy. It's Nobel prize material.
Unlikely to happen. In Russia, all the modern weapons - from Armata tanks to Su-57 stealth planes to doomsday missiles - are mocked as "multiki" (cartoons), because they don't really exist beyond a few barely functional prototypes that are paraded around on national holidays.

All the weapons actually fielded in large numbers are either directly from the Soviet era, or endless upgrades of upgrades of obsolete designs - like their T-90 tank, which still has a fatal flaw that sends turret flying when the tank gets hit. Russian weapons industry has for more than three decades consistently shown total inability to produce anything new. I'd start worrying as soon as Russia finally produced a decent car; that would be an indication that something has fundamentally changed.
I don't care if all they collect is the bottom right pixel of the image and blur it up before sending it, the sending part is the problem. I don't want anything sent from MY device without my consent, whether it's plaintext or quantum proof.

You're presenting it as if you have to explain elliptic curve cryptography in order to toggle a "show password" dialogue but that's disingenuous framing, all you have to say is "Allow Apple to process your images", simple as that. Otherwise you can argue many things can't possibly be made into options. Should location data always be sent, because satellites are complicated and hard to explain? Should we let them choose whether they can turn wifi on or off, because you have to explain IEEE 802.11 to them?

This proves that with sufficient political and military pressure and
the ability to give away nearly unlimited amounts of money
you can get production moved to the US in a way that works,

(Any deals the US has with Taiwan, will always have a military
backdrop, they just recently took deliver of some nice new
military hardware). Stuff you will never see in Ukraine. )
There are two aspects of your line of reasoning that don't jive for me.

People can choose to not place a bet by not participating in the economy, or tying physical assets to it. In other words, de-banking, off-grid farming, unemployment on welfare (not their money, printed guaranteed loss absorbed by the baseline).

The assumption that the market can always allocate the losses to the baseline has already been shown to be foundationally flawed. It depends upon whether the baseline can absorb the losses to keep the market going, not the other way around. Those who believe in MMT don't pay head to the fact that money printing has caused societies to fail many times in the distant past, in the ever quoted phrase, but it will be different this time.

When the economic engine stalls, so too does order and money-printing/debt issuance (without fractional reserve) drives this as a sieve (which we've seen over the past several decades in the form of bailout, marketshare concentration, and consolidation).

Central banks set reserve allocations to 0% in 2020, adopting a capital reserve, risk-weighted system based in fiat that is opaque and stock-market tied (Basel III modified). Value is subjective, and fiat may have store of value, right up until it doesn't.

Of particular note, societal order is required to produce enough food for 8bn globally, without order and its now brittle dependencies, we can only feed 4bn globally. Malthus has a lot to say about population dynamics in ecological overshoot.

TL;DR Half of all people die when modern chemical production (Haber-Bosch fertilizer) and other food dependencies (climate) fail.

AI drives chaos and disruption. Its like throwing a wrench into a gear system, maybe it will stall, maybe it gets thrown out (still slowing it), maybe it runs rough wearing it faster further degrading the system towards failure.

When the baseline cannot absorb the cost in terms of purchasing power, it absorbs the cost from the resulting chaos in lives.

Intelligent people pay attention to history because the outcomes that repeat in history occur as a result of dynamics that repeat, and in matters where lives or survival are on the line risk management shifts from permissive to restrictive (where the requirements of proof are flipped).
Would be nice to put through all the terrible plastic-wrapped produce you find at Coles and Woolies.
It could be better and different - trust. Being critical is not the same thing as not trusting anyone at all. Media has by and large become not worthy of trusting at all. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between.

The economics of just giving the news with little bias just aren't there anymore.
The survey was done across California -- not just SF and LA. Either way, wikipedia claims that 37.7% of SF residents were born in California which is slightly closer to 50% than the 25% figure you quoted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_San_Francisco#...).

The survey also states that "Most participants (87%) were born in the United States. ... Two-thirds (66%) were born in California."

I still don't understand why the survey is statistically impossible.
>If you can't stand out from an LLM then why can't it do your job?

I downvoted your post because this is a complete nonsequitur.
That's far from the whole story though.

Part of being woke is usually seeing others as asleep and not as enlightened, which means it's ok to lecture them to hell and back. There's a difference between thinking critically and looking for problems to feel superior.

It is a coverup. Apple is overtly and completely aware of the optics surrounding photo scanning - they know that an opt-in scheme cannot work as they found out previously.

Since they cannot convince users to enable this feature in good-faith, they are resorting to subterfuge. We know that Apple is vehement about pushing client-side scanning on users that do not want it, I do not believe for a second that this was a mistake or unintended behavior. If this was a bug then it would have been hotfixed immediately to prevent the unintended behavior from reaching any more phones than it already had.
I started with PHP... 4.3... 20 years ago. And that was just the beginning. Java is for peacenicks.

Alas, I still don't have a single tank to my name, so it's not me that will be doing the shooting. Or even deciding to shoot.

At 45 years I already lived too long and seen too much. I don't mind universe giving me its best shot at mythical thermonuclear war. I fully expect it to be pathetic.

I’m aware, both entities have claims to the whole mainland and still have China in their name, and are branches from the same common ancestor in dispute

both entities would have territorial disputes with other neighboring regions, that we don't agree with, since we care about those region’s self determination too

some parts of the ROC have dropped claims to the mainland

I would probably prefer to use text other than "Please wait..." since it won't work if JavaScripts are disabled. This can be fixed by changing the text to something such as "This is a HTML/ZIP/PNG polyglot file". And then, omit the <title> to save space.

The URL jar:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglot-HT... can be used to display the HTML file in some web browsers, although it cannot display the PNG file in this way since it uses # as the URL of the picture.
A week ago, I was looking for the name of a semi obscure late 90ies computer game. Google could not help me given the description i gave

Described it to ChatGPT, and we had a back and forth where I explained why the games it suggested me weren’t right, it eventually found the correct game (Nocturne) and was able to explain to me that half of the things I remembered from the game were just plain wrong, and that’s why Google couldn’t find it

I kinda was somewhat with you until this point.

Apple IS just another cloud provider / centralized backup service. It's not fundamentally different than others, and if you're not in select group of whatever the respectful term is for those who stay strictly inside apple ecosystem, you will have multiple clouds and multiple data sets and multiple backups that all interact with each other and your heterogeneous devices in unpredictable ways. Icloud will not help you with that any more than google cloud or Samsung cloud etc. They all want to own all of your stuff, neither is simply a hyper helpful neutral director.
Not all apps support Apple’s backup solution. Threema and Signal come to mind.
I rode in a sleeper car in December 1999 in Australia, between Melbourne and Sydney, and it was an unpleasant experience. It was a jerky, bumpy, noisy ride, somebody kept going between the cars for smoke breaks and the smell wafted into our cabin, and there was a baby crying in the cabin next door.
Yes, most people who disagree with this have no clear understanding of how a LLM works. It is just a prediction mechanism for the next token. The implementation is very fancy and takes a lot of training, but it's not doing anything more than next token prediction. That's why it is incapable of doing any reasoning.
